Flow duration curves provide a compact summary of streamflow variability. In this study, characteristics of the dimensionless flow duration curve in natural rivers with the unregulated discharge were investigated. An analysis of flow duration characteristics was conducted with discharge data at stage-gauging stations of IHP representative basins and of the major rivers in Korea. Discharge characteristics are dependent on area of watershed. However, flow duration coefficients except drought duration coefficient are independent on that. Abundant flow duration coefficient was constant value. The coefficient of flow duration variability defined in this study as the ratio of the normal stream flow over the drought one is decreased with increasing of the watershed area, which implies that the watershed area affects the drought flow duration variability more than the low flow one. And the coefficient of flow duration variability is increased with the river gradient.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the flow duration characteristics of Nakdong, Seomjin and Geum river due to environmental change. The water level gauging stations of Nakdong, Seomjin and Geum river were selected to analyze the change of flow duration. The construction period of multipurpose dam was considered to analyze flow duration characteristics. As the result of this study, it show that ninety-five day flow, normal flow, low flow and drought flow were increased by multipurpose dam construction at all stations except a Jukpo gauging station. Especially, improved effect of flow duration in downstream part was bigger than that in upstream and midstream part. The coefficients of river regime of Nakdong, Seomjin and Geum river were decreased and also coefficients of flow duration were decreased after the multipurpose dam construction. However decline of coefficient of flow duration was smaller than coefficient of river regime because coefficient of flow duration is less affected by maximum discharge and minimum discharge than coefficient of river regime, It was confirmed that multipurpose dam on upstream and midstream has a useful effect for improving the flow duration characteristics.

Recently, a huge amount of sulfur has been produced as a byproduct of petroleum refining processes in Korea. Sulfur concrete is made of modified sulfur binder instead of cement paste, which has advantages of reducing $CO_2$ emission from cement industry as well as utilizing surplus sulfur. Also, sulfur concrete is a sustainable material that can be repetitively recycled. In this study, the physical properties of sulfur concrete are experimentally investigated. From the test results, sulfur concrete showed compressive strengths higher than at least 50MPa. Also, the unit weight, modulus of elasticity and splitting tensile strength of sulfur concrete was similar to that of Portland cement concrete (PCC). The coefficient of thermal expansion of sulfur concrete was a little larger than that of Portland cement concrete and sulfur concrete with mineral filler is helpful to lower the coefficient of thermal expansion. recycled aggregate sulfur concrete resulted in a slight reduction in the compressive strength, but sulfur concrete with recycled aggregate can achieve the high strength characteristics.

하천관리는 직접유출과 기저유출로 구성된 하천유량의 특성을 이해하는 것으로부터 시작된다. 따라서 직접유출과 기저유출의 특성은 직접적으로 하천유량의 변동성으로 전달된다. 이러한 점을 고려했을 때 전략적인 하천관리를 위해서는 직접유출/기저유출과 하천유량의 관계를 분석하는 것이 필요하다. 이를 대해 본 연구의 목적은 하천유량의 변동성과 기저유출비(Baseflow Index, BFI)의 관계를 분석하고, 이러한 관계를 일관성 있게 나타낼 수 있는 하천유량 변동성 지표(Streamflow Variability Index, SVI)를 제시하는 것이다. 본 목적을 달성하기 위해 국내 총 91개 유량관측소를 대상으로 유황계수, R-B Index(Richards-Baker Flashiness Index), 변동계수(Coefficient of Variation), Q5:Q95 ratio 등의 SVI를 적용하였다. 이와 더불어, BFI를 산정하기 위하여 기저유출 분리 모형인 WHAT, PART, HYSEP, BFLOW를 사용하였다. 연구결과는 BFI값이 증가 할수록 SVI의 값은 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 다양한 SVI 가운데 BFI에 대한 R-B Index의 평균 결정계수가 0.66로 가장 큰 값을 나타냈으며, 특히 WHAT 모델의 Local Minimum Method(LMM)과의 결정계수가 0.82로 가장 밀접한 관계를 나타냈다. 변동계수 또한 평균 결정계수 값이 0.60으로 높은 값을 보였다. 그 외 유황계수와 Q5:Q95의 평균 결정계수는 각각 0.04와 0.07로 매우 낮은 값을 보였다. 결론적으로 다양한 SVI 가운데 R-B Index가 여러 기저유출 방법으로 산정된 BFI 값들에 대하여 가장 일관성 있는 결과를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과는 하천의 생태적 기능 유지와 치수안정성을 확보를 고려한 하천관리에 기여할 것이다.

Similarity measure of catchments is essential for regionalization studies, which provide in depth analysis in hydrological response and flood estimations at ungauged catchments. However, this similarity measure is often biased to the selected catchments and is not clearly explained in hydrological sense. This study applied a type of hydrological similarity distance measure-Flood Estimation Handbook to 25 Geum River catchments, Korea. Three Catchment Characteristics, Area(A)-Annual precipitation(SAAR)-SCS Curve Number(CN), are used in Euclidian distance measures. Furthermore, six index of Flow Duration Curve are applied to clustering analysis of SPSS. The catchments' grouping of hydrological similarity measures suggests three groups (H1, H2 and H3) and the four catchments are not grouped in this study. The clustering analysis of FDC provides four Groups; F1, F2, F3 and F4. The six catchments (out of seven) of H1 are grouped in F1, while Sangyeogyo is grouped in F2. The four catchments (out of six) of H2 are also grouped in F2, while Cheongju and Guryong are grouped in F1. The catchments of H3 are categorized in F1. The authors examine the results (H1, H2 and H3) of similarity measure based on catchment physical descriptors with results (F1 and F2) of clustering based on catchment hydrological response. The results of hydrological similarity measures are supported by clustering analysis of FDC. This study shows a potential of hydrological catchment similarity measures in Korea.

An analysis of flow duration characteristics of the five major rivers in Korea was conducted with extensive river flow data available. The analysis reveals that, for most river stage-gauging stations at the rivers investigated in this study, the flow duration characteristics have changed drastically at some stations after major dammings in the river basins. Streamflow variability. which is newly defined in this study as the ratio of the 2.5 percents (or 10 day) duration discharge over the 97.5 percents (or 355 day) duration one, was also reduced by the dammings. The result of the study shows that the Han and the Yeongsan rivers have relatively small flow variation, while the Seomjin and the Keum rivers have relatively large now variation, which implies that the latter two river basins need new water resources development.

한강, 낙동강, 금강, 섬진강, 영산강 등 우리나라 5대 강의 주요 지점에서의 광범위한 수문자료를 토대로 유황분석을 수행하였다. 우리나라 하천유량 자료의 신뢰도상의 한계를 감안하여, 특히 저수위시 수위-유량 관계곡선의 검토 등 본 유황분석에서 이용될 유량 자료의 검토에 세심한 배려를 하였다. 본 연구에 의하면, 우리나라의 주요 수계의 유황은 상류에 주요 다목적 댐 건설 이전과 이후에 걸쳐 크게 개선된 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 유황 개선 효과는 홍수량의 저감 등 풍수시보다는 저수량의 증가 등 저수시에 더욱 두드러지게 나타나고 있다. 한편, 우리나라 주요 수계의 하상계수는 주요댐 건설이전의 자연상태에서는 300~500 정도이었으나, 댐 건설이후 1/2~1/3 정도 감소하여 150~300 정도로 나타났으며, 이는 댐에 의한 유황개선 효과를 단적으로 보여주는 것이다.

In this study, a new analysis method by using a "Discharge Gini Coefficient" is presented to determine the degree of inequality in daily discharge throughout the year. The Discharge Gini Coefficient can be calculated using the area relationship with the cumulative percentage of the daily mode discharge in the ascending order according to the cumulative percentage of the date of occurrence of the daily discharge throughout the year. The Discharge Gini Coefficient is presented as a value between 0 and 1, and the degree of inequality can be divided into 5 levels. The Discharge Gini Coefficient can be used to estimate the discharge stability of the downstream point relative to the upstream point. In addition, it is possible to quantify the influence of each reference discharge on the total inequality. The applicability of the Discharge Gini Coefficient was reviewed using long-term daily discharge data at eight points upstream and downstream of the four major rivers in Korea. The Discharge Gini Coefficient can also be used to analyze the discharge control effect in the downstream by the upstream dam.

This study presents the alteration of flow regime by effects of dams and water use in the Geum River Basin. The surface water use rate and the Impounded Runoff (IR) index were examined to assess the pressure indicators of the flow alteration. We applied the flow duration curve, flow regime coefficient, flood and low-flow frequency analysis as well as Range of Variability Approach (RVA) to investigate the quantitative changes in natural flow regimes. The results indicate that the high flow decreased and low flow increased respectively compared to the natural flow regimes at eight gauging stations. The Geum river is regulated by 139 dams and reservoirs storing 24% of the annual mean discharge and has high surface water use rate of 36%. These indicators are main pressure factors to alter flow regimes.

기저유출 분리 기법은 하천에서 관찰되는 총 유출을 직접유출과 기저유출로 분리하는 기술이다. 기저유출 분리 기법은 도식적(graphical) 방법, 디지털 필터(digital filter) 방법, 통계학적 방법, 해석적 방법 등 다양하다(Valent와 Bulík, 2016). 금회 연구에서는 이 가운데 도식적 방법을 이용한 기저유출 분리 방법에 대한 적용성을 평가하였다. 금회 연구에서 수행된 도식적 기저유출 분리 방법은 HYSEP 프로그램에 포함되어 있는 local minimum method(LMM), fixed interval method(FIM), sliding interval method(SIM)이고(Sloto and Crouse, 1996), 각각의 방법은 대리 수위관측소의 관측 일 유량(2013년~2017년)에 적용되었다. 분석에 사용된 세 가지 방법은 동일하게 유역면적의 함수인 기저유출 분리에 사용되는 간격(2N∗)만으로 기저유출을 분리하므로 객관적인 적용이 가능하다. 각각의 분석 방법에 의한 기저유출 분리의 적절성 평가를 위해 2017년의 유황곡선을 이용하여 검토하였다. 구체적으로 유황 곡선의 지표 유량인 풍수량, 평수량, 저수량을 기준으로 각각의 지표 유량 이하에 대한 관측 유량과 추정된 기저유량의 결정계수를 산정하였다(Table 1). 이는 유량의 규모가 작을수록 지표유출 보다는 기저유출의 영향이 커짐을 고려한 것이다. 분석 결과, SIM이 모든 지표 유량 기준에서 가장 좋은 결과를 보였다. 또한, 기저유출 지표(base flow index; BFI)에서도 SIM과 FIM은 약 0.46으로 유사한 반면, LMM은 0.23으로 분석되어 두 방법과 큰 차이를 보였다.
